Our friendly neighborhood beaches

We live in Pembroke Parish which contains the Capital City of Hamilton. We live just to the west of the capital city, takes about 15 minutes to walk down to the major city. The pink stars on the map are 2 of the 3 locations where the cruise ships dock. The one on the left is the Royal Navy Dockyard and the one in the bottom right is where they dock in downtown Hamilton. The big pink house is where we live and the drawn path is how we get to the national parks by our house that contain beaches; Admiralty House Park and Spanish Point Park. The closer one, Admiralty is by far the more beautiful. It contains a tennis court where Sarah and will occasionally play, a cave, and a beach. It also has cliffs you can jump off though we have yet to do that. It's about a 15 minute walk or a 4 minute scooter trip depending on how lazy we are feeling! The parking lot is elevated and provides a spectacular view of the ocean.  Also, you can see the Dockyard from a nice park bench right by the cave entrance.

The other park is the Spanish Pointe Park. This one isn't so much of a beach as a park. It's right out on the tip and has some islands you can get to with a short smim/walk.






Also, since I haven't done this yet, here are a few pictures of our house.
